Introduction
VirtualBox is a cross platform emulation tool. It allows one operating system to run on other operating system. For example, you can run Windows XP as a guest operating system in Ubuntu. Most of the posts on Internet show steps in modifying aptitude sources then use apt (Advance Package Tool) to install it. However, below is the easiest way to install VirtualBox on Ubuntu 10.04.
